Face to face – my lovely foe
[Subaru is facing Seishirou, preparing to attack the Sakurazukamori]
Mouth to mouth – raining heavens’ blows
[Subaru has a brief flashback to when Seishirou and him first kissed. Suddenly the screen shatters as Subaru lashes his shikigami at his former friend. Seishirou smiles as he blocks the attack]
Hand on heart – the bitter sweet
[Another flashback. This time Seishirou is carrying Subaru after being wounded. The now Subaru smiles sadly as he remembers how happy he was with Sakurazukamori]
Commit your crime in your deadly time
[Subaru remembers watching Seishirou kill a girl when he was nine-years-old]
It’s too divine – I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist
[Seishirou stands still, torn between going to Subaru and fulfilling his duty as Sakurazukamori and a Dragon of Earth]
Another life – another time
[It is six years ago. Sixteen-year-old Subaru meets Seishirou at a Tokyo train station]
We’re Siamese twins writhing intertwined
[Both have a vision of two dragons, one red, one green fighting, intertwining each other]
Face to face – no telling lies
The masks they slide – to reveal a new disguise
[Subaru confronts Seishirou after learning of Hokuto’s murder. From his POV, we see the face of the kindly veterinarian, but Sei’s face slides off revealing the face of Sakurazukamori. Seishirou smiles, holding a mask]
You never can win – that’s the state I’m in
[“I win Subaru-kun,” says Seishirou as stands over the older Subaru. For a split second, Subaru sees something else in his eyes]
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
[Both are motionless for a few seconds. Subaru is torn between giving up and fighting back, while Sei battles his own inner conflict]
They say follow your heart – follow it through
[Seishirou imagines himself helping Subaru up and holding him close]
But how can you when you’re split in two?
[Sei almost does exactly that, but vanishes in a storm of Sakura petals leaving Subaru utterly confused]
And you’ll never know
You’ll never know
One more kiss – before we die
[In a dream, Seishirou kisses Subaru just before he kills him. Subaru wakes up from the nightmare, panting]
Face to face – and dream of flying
[In Seishirou’s dream, he and Subaru are suspended in the air over Tokyo, fighting for the future of the human race]
Who are you? – Who am I?
[Subaru looks into a mirror and his image distorts and becomes Seishirou’s face. Subaru stares at the image pondering its meaning]
Wind on wings – two angels falling
[The final day had come, both onmyouji are covered in blood and debris, suspended in the air. Suddenly both begin to plummet toward the ground]
To die like this – with a last kiss
[On the ground, Seishirou gets up and comes over to Subaru who is still lying. He gently helps him to sit and kisses him]
It’s falsehood’s flame – it’s a crying shame
[The kiss lingers for a while. Subaru is crying, knowing he had failed to make his one wish come true]
Face to face – the passions breathe
[Sei breaks the kiss and gently lays the younger onmyouji down and closes his eyes]
I want to stay but then I must leave
[Seishirou looks at the dead Subaru sadly, trying not to cry. Eventually the Sakurazukamori turns and leaves]
And you’ll never know
You’ll never know
[Just before he disappears, Sei turns back one last time and whispers “I loved you, Subaru-kun,” and vanishes, the kekkai breaking with Subaru’s death]
Author’s notes:
Not exactly a happy ending, but still a fitting one. This is only my second attempt at writing an X fic so any comments or criticism would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t own any of the characters or the song, so don’t sue me.
